I still think a thin sheet of black (or whatever color is needed) ABS,
or possibly that new color molded Lexan, solvent welded to a sheet of
1/8" Lexan or Plexi would be better. No paint to scratch off and it
could be done with a normal CNC engraving setup instead of a laser.

I'm going to attempt to make my panels by printing what I need on
transparencies in negative, then contact printing those onto
photographic sheet film. If that doesn't work I'll skip backlighting
them unless someone out there has decided to make CRJ panels cheap
enough that I can sneak 'em past the chief financial officer and her
mallet of castration.
